Archaeology can inspire people in all sorts of different ways. Here at Wessex Archaeology, we love to hear from people who have been inspired by the discoveries we have made and the knowledge we have shared.

The mystery of this story caught Miriam’s imagination and she was inspired to create a quilt depicting the boy and his amber necklace. She said:
I'm fascinated by archaeology and often find pictures of archaeological digs so inspiring for work. The Boy with the Amber Necklace is such a great story, so I made a quilt based on him – he is on the front and his beads are on the back. I wanted to thank Wessex Archaeology for their work and for sharing it online for the whole world!
